Colores is the result of a process of experimentation that started after the release of “Inocencia” back in 2009. I decided then to experiment with toy instruments and keyboards, many of them bent or modified to alter their sound or to generate noise. I decided also to explore the posibilities of the voice and vocal harmonies, wordless sounds and chants used as another instrument, not to transmit a message. “Colores” is nothing but a simple album half-way between indie and electronic, easy listening and experimental music, past and future. The graphic design is the work of Juls Gars Menta, who added the collage of paintings and figures to the wonderful photographs of Antonio R. I am in debt with both for their collaboration in the project, and for making “Colores” a reality.

Sometimes to make something new appear a number of factors, which have covered an accidentally emerged in the space route, should meet in one point and form a single unit with its new independent qualities.

"Diversion Voice" group was formed on the 30th of June, 2009.
The members of the group are:
Matvey Ushakov - guitar
Ilya Bolkisev - saxophone, electronics
Dmitry Krasov - guitar, percussion
Ivan Dorokhov - bass
Alexey Kryuchkov - drums

Different music preferences of the group members provided a fertile field for experiments. "Diversion Voice" perform instrumental music that is close in style to progressive, atmospheric, psychedelic, rock.
By the time "Diversion Voice" emerged, the musicians had already worked well together in other music collectives. They all used to be members of the "Kitaygorod". Alexey Kryuchkov and Matvey Ushakov take part in live performances and help Felix Tokarev and his group "Offшоры" by the studio work. Ivan Dorokhov is a member of "The Danke Schon" project. Ilya Bolkisev makes sets with DJs. Dmitry Krasov performed with the "Global Beat School" and now is a part of "Udalennie Faily" group (which later joined Alexey Kryuchkov and Matvey Ushakov).
There is no ideological leader in "Diversion Voice", who would direct the creative process to a particular course. Instead of that, the directing vector of the group is a tacit rule: to keep those musical variants, that give the best fit for all the members. A result of such collective work are unusual compositions.

Music by Diversion Voice
Recorded at GDR studio (Moscow) & BUTTERFLY records (Chekhov)
Mixing by Nikolay Chistov
Design by Dmitry Krasov - http://www.minidea.ru


Часто для появления чего-то нового должны сойтись ряд факторов, которые, пройдя случайно образовавшийся маршрут в пространстве, пересекутся в одной точке и превратятся в одно целое, наделенное новыми самостоятельными качествами.

Коллектив "Diversion Voice" образовался 30 июня 2009 года.
В состав группы вошли:
Матвей Ушаков - гитара
Илья Болкисев - саксофон, электроника
Дмитрий Красов - гитара, перкуссия
Иван Дорохов - бас
Алексей Крючков - барабаны

Различные музыкальные предпочтения участников обеспечили плодотворную почву для экспериментов. "Diversion Voice" исполняют инструментальную музыку близкую по стилю к progressive, atmospheric, psychedelic, rock.
К моменту образования "Diversion Voice" музыканты успели хорошо сработаться вместе в других коллективах. Все когда-то были участниками группы "Китайгород". Алексей Крючков и Матвей Ушаков принимают участие в живых выступлениях и помогают
в студийной работе Феликсу Токареву и его группе "Offшоры". Иван Дорохов участвует в проекте "The Danke Schon". Илья Болкисев делает сеты с ди-джеями. Дмитрий Красов выступал с "Global Beat School" и входил в состав группы "Удалённые Файлы" (где впоследствии успели поиграть Алексей Крючков и Матвей Ушаков).
В группе "Diversion Voice" нет идейного лидера, который бы направлял творческий процесс в определенное русло, вместо этого направляющим вектором служит негласное правило оставлять те музыкальные варианты, которые нравятся всем. В результате такой коллективной работы получаются неожиданные композиции.

It´s not easy to express the music of Studebaker´s Blacksmith Shop. It is music in his simplicity, clarity and intensity, but the most important thing is the uniqueness and the audibility of the songs.
"Excuse me, are you sick?!" is the first concept-album of the band. An inwardly lost person´s way of a prospected depression is depicted (Alone).
Due to a tragic accident a beloved person becomes in need of care, what reduces the main character to despair. This is shown in "Champagne Desert Love".
"Elimination of Danger" shows the first signs that something is wrong and the abolishment of that fear.
In "Warning Signals" you see the real feelings of of the main character.
"Will" comments on the reasons why finally the person decides to make a therapy.
Assholedance, I got Plan, Without a Struggle, Type of guy and Reset Eject Play are single impressions appreciated by the main character.


In 2004 Studebaker´s Blacksmith Shop was found.
The first steps were made with the self-titled EP in 2006. After that the album "Nebula" followed in 2008.

The musicians are:
Kerstin Dietl (vocals/guitar/piano/songwriting),
Alex Dübell (guitar/synth/piano/lyrics/songwriting)
Joe Kirsch (bass/piano/ideas)
Uli „the Machine“ Eggerbauer (drums/ideas)

The four members found themselves in the little bavarian town Geisenhausen
Together with pandoras.box and 13 other bands they practice in a bunker 20 m in the underground.
They meet in a unreal and dusky ambiance with everlasting 20°C and work with continuous and creative exchange to the other bands on their music.
Excuse me, are you sick?! is the second album of the Geisenhausen´s quartett and waits for the world´s audience.
Music´s freedom and its distribution is corroborated by the CC-licence

“Don’t try to push me” is a 4 songs EP: Lay down has always been fun to play, and its recording has a very good melancholic feel to it, a “Take me out tonight” languor. Inside outside has a middle-eight part that made us realize how beautiful we could get working on harmony and colors. David is one of the first songs we have written and one of the hardest to work out: we wanted a perfect sound for a song that matters a lot to us (it is, in fact, our humble homage to David Foster Wallace's work). Death by love is a lullaby for another day, and our very first song too.

16 Lovers Lane are a band from Verona, Italy. The members are: Michele Segàla (guitar, vocals), Giulia-Giorgia Quaggiotto (electric piano, keyboards, programming, vocals), Federico Di Fonte (bass). “Don’t try to push me” is their first release.

“Don’t try to push me” è un EP di 4 canzoni: Lay down è sempre stata divertente da suonare, ed ora, registrata così, ha un bel piglio malinconico, un languore à la “Take me out tonight”. Inside outside ha un middle-eight che ci ha fatto capire quanto belle le nostre canzone possono essere se lavoriamo sui toni, i colori, l’armonia. David è uno dei primi pezzi che abbiamo scritto e uno di quelli su cui ci siamo arrovellati di più: volevamo che avesse un suono perfetto perché è una canzone che per noi significa molto (infatti è il nostro modesto omaggio ai lavori di David Foster Wallace). Death by love è una ninna nanna per un’altra giornata, nonché la nostra primissima canzone.

I 16 Lovers Lane sono una band di Verona, Italia. I componenti sono: Michele Segàla (chitarra e voce), Giulia-Giorgia Quaggiotto (piano elettrico, tastiere, programming, voce), Federico Di Fonte (basso). “Don’t try to push me” è il loro primo disco.

This album was recorded from early 2005 to 2006, collecting and gathering various states of mind and giving this journey  one particular look and feel. Like all journeys, this album has its ups and downs, creating a unique universe that some individuals might be able to build a connection to. Being on the darker side of life, with all senses as sharp as knives, the album itself might be regarded as a companion - the one who is always there by your side; never giving up and still hoping to reduce the impact of suffering.

Fake Plastic Heads is the solo-project of multimedia artist and graphic designer Charles S. Kuzmanovic. He started working in the wide field of electronica back in 1998. Prior to that point he was lead singer in a couple of small rock bands (1992 - 1998).
From 2005 on, C.S.K. is recording under the name of Fake Plastic Heads - collaborating with a couple of musicians worldwide. (e.g. Japanese cyber-author Kenji Siratori, U.S. spoken word artist Guy Williams, Jr., Canadian electronica act OFF DECK).
The first self-released albums were mostly industrial/noise-flavored but Fake Plastic Heads are producing more IDM-ish and ambient tracks lately. A brand new release is scheduled for late 2011.
